How to define user requirements accurately and design user interface appropriately have been a very active research area concerned with human-computer interaction and graphic design. Because of the scale and the complexity of three-dimensional (3D) animation software, making correct design decisions becomes tougher. Houdini is a 3D animation software as well as the main product […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

Centered on airport operations, this research utilizes open flight data from multiple airports as a focal point. Collaborating with Aurrigo, the project aims to optimize data acquisition from open sources and construct, train, and thoroughly assess machine learning models for forecasting future airport operations. These predictive capabilities will play a pivotal role in informing decision-making […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

The proposed research aims at developing control strategies under the paradigm of Demand Response (DR) in the context of the Smart Grid in order to improve energy efficiency and to reduce operational cost in commercial buildings and communities. The emphasis will be put on consumer side energy management strategies that able to balance energy demand […]

Modeling trees is known to be a difficult problem in computer graphics. At Animal Logic, the typical artist workflow involves using the in-house tool for semi-procedural tree generation. The artists hand model trunk, branch, and leaf geometry, and trees are generated by scattering branches and leaves in a recursive manner. This approach has several limitations. […]

On June 1, 2021, Futures First Canada and FinML began a pilot collaborative project involving three Canadian universities by-way-of a MITACS Accelerate internship (IT25712) which jumpstarted an initiative to use cutting edge techniques in machine learning, financial mathematics, and AI for making predictions in financial markets. This goal is integral to the business operations of […]

Ce projet a pour but d’établir un modèle considérant la dépendance dans l’espace et dans le temps, entre les tempêtes de grêle causant des dommages assurables. Nous utilisons un modèle hiérarchique Bayesien, où la fréquence des pertes assurables sera scindée en partie que nous définirons comme faisant partie du noyau et des extrêmes. Nous utilisons […]

Aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine (Qc), les mytiliculteurs s’approvisionnent en jeunes moules (naissain) dans une lagune côtière, le Bassin du Havre-Aubert (BHA), car les stocks récoltés (captage) présentent une résistance particulière au stress, en lien avec une diversité génétique plus importante. Toutefois, face au manque d’espace disponible au BHA et à une variabilité interannuelle du succès de captage, […]

Lorsque des prothèses et outils sont développés pour la chirurgie de la colonne vertébrale, leur conception exploite des simulations numériques. Cependant, les simulations de colonne qui sont utilisées ne représentent souvent qu’un individu caucasien de sexe masculin, dans la trentaine, et sans maladie. Ceci ne correspond pas aux patient·es susceptibles de recevoir une chirurgie de […]

The project aims to build a 3D object detection system by using a number of images from multiple cameras. The system will train on instances of objects to detect other instances of the same object. This means that if, for example, we want to detect a sphere, we will make the system learn how a […]

To ensure optimal physical development and competitive performances, specific training parameters such as intensity and volume (i.e., the training load) should be appropriately manipulated during and across training phases. Athletes in biathlon perform large amount of physical training that can lead to excessive fatigue and ultimately hinder physiological adaptations. Monitoring fatigue is therefore paramount to […]
